Estimated salary cap increase would help Vikings retain top talent

It’s no secret that the Minnesota Vikings are not in a good spot financially after their spending before and during the 2018 NFL season. The team spent a lot of its salary cap acquiring quarterback Kirk Cousins, defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson, and other players while locking down some of their own players to long-term deals.

After this season, some key players will become free agents according to Spotrac. Sheldon Richardson, Latavius Murray, Anthony Barr, and 16 other players currently under contract by Minnesota will need new contracts or be left unsigned to play for other teams.
